How does the caliper go back in on a 1992 lumina rear brakes?

Here are the steps on how to reinstall a caliper on a 1992 Lumina rear brake:

1. Clean the caliper bracket and the caliper. This will help to ensure that the caliper is properly seated and that it does not move around.

2. Apply a small amount of brake grease to the caliper slide pins. This will help to prevent the pins from binding and causing the caliper to stick.

3. Slide the caliper onto the bracket. Make sure that the caliper is properly seated and that the slide pins are aligned with the holes in the bracket.

4. Secure the caliper to the bracket with the bolts. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.

5. Connect the brake line to the caliper. Tighten the brake line to the specified torque.

6. Add brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. This will help to ensure that the caliper has enough fluid to properly operate.

7. Pump the brake pedal several times to bleed the air from the brake system. This will help to ensure that the brakes are working properly.
